Line 67:
** Also, Cheery Littlebottom puked in ''Feet Of Clay'', upon seeing her first murder victim.
* Not a murder mystery, but in the [[X Wing Series]], Gavin Darklighter throws up when he sees and smells someone in the worst throes of the [[The Plague|Krytos Plague]]. He's not a cop, but an extremely green pilot who, during the crisis, was sent to try and help the sufferers. He'd seen some bad ones before, but this was the worst. Gavin ''was'' able to pull himself together and do his job after, and later he told his love interest that he'll be all right, and that scares him.

* The main character of Rob Grant's ''[[Incompetence]]'' notes that coroners often try to make detectives sick while inspecting corpses. He also notes that while they have yet to succeed with him, it's not a game he enjoys. This is just before he speaks to a coroner who stitches faces from one corpse to the buttocks of another. As a hobby.
* Subverting the "happens to a rookie" requirement, [[Inspector Morse]] himself has had this happen in the novels, and even on good days is pretty squeamish about crime scenes.
Line 115:
* A variation is seen in an episode of ''[[Law and Order UK]]'' with a vomiting firefighter at a fatal arson scene.
* ''[[Bones]]'': TV Scientist Dr. Bunsen Jude, "the Science Dude" acts as Brennan's Squintern-of-the-week to convince her to come on his show to talk about how fun science is. After looking at a corpse for a few minutes and giving his expert opinion, he grabs a bucket.

* This happens to the [[Cop Of The Week]] a few times on ''[[Criminal Minds]]''. At one particularly brutal scene, a character remarks that the vomiter had driven eight hours to get to the crime scene, threw up in the bushes, and was about to be sent home.
* Parodied on ''[[Seinfeld]]'', when Jerry's car is stolen and a similar model turns up torn apart in a garage.
